Human resource management

Process engineering

Process engineering for new plants as well as for the optimisation of already existing plants comprises the key services Process Design, Process Engineering and Research and Development.

Process Design (Basic Engineering) forms the basis with the preparation of Process Engineering concepts and reaction sequences.
In Process Engineering (Detail Engineering), the specifications for all performance parameters and design calculations are made.
In Research and Development we offer feasibility studies, simulations and pilot scale trials for the development of new process designs and for customer-specific adaptations of existing treatment procedures.

Mechanical engineering

The Mechanical Engineering is developed in close collaboration with our Process Engineering Planning.

Within Basic and Detail Engineering, we specify and dimension mechanical components. Afterwards we create installation and piping plans and work out process flow diagrams. Components are selected in close cooperation with approved subcontractors. Process flow diagrams are created using 2D-CAD systems with database connection while layout and pipeline planning are created using 3D-CAD systems.

Electrical engineering

Arcade takes on the complete planning and design of electrical systems.

Instrumentation

A suitable selection and implementation of sensors and measurement devices are crucial factors in the functional capability of a control circuit and the success of the entire processing system. Therefore, we integrate the process instrumentation into the automation solution of a plant from the outset of the project.

Pressure, flow, temperature, conductivity-measurements or complex analysis of liquids – we select, specify, configure, install, parameterise the system and take the measurement into operation.

Our experience in dealing with measurement technology, combined with the technological understanding of the respective plant, are advantages for our customers in process instrumentation. We work together with all common suppliers of process measurement technology, please contact us for your individual solution.

Installation and Commissioning

Arcade maintains a team of site supervisors and commissioning engineers specialized in mechanical- or electrical engineering or industrial automation, whom can be deployed when and where required.

Inspection and certification

Arcade’s qualified and certified staff can take care of the inspection and qualification of your installations.

Proposed services include:

Subcontractor auditing
Technical inspections of equipment
Documentation audit
Weld inspections

For endoscopic inspections Arcade provides its own high-quality videoscope along with a certified inspection engineer.

Consulting

Arcade can provide its range of services on a consulting basis for those clients requiring short term or occasional technical expertise or additional engineering capacity. We provide our assistance at your own facilities, integrating with your existing teams. Our services include individual missions for specialist engineers, (CAD-) designers, site supervisors or general services requiring the deployment of multidisciplinary or autonomous teams.
